F 3000 Studies on Electrochemical Behavior of Zinc-Doped LiFePO4 for Lithium Battery
Positive Electrode. — Small LiFePO4 particles, a promising cathode material for
33- 010 Li-batteries, coated with ZnO are prepared by ball milling mixtures of ZnO and
LiFePO4 (Ar, 20 h). The samples are characterized by powder XRD, SEM, electro-
chemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic measure-
ments. ZnO-doping enhances the conductivity with the 2.5% ZnO-doped LiFePO4 ex-
hibiting the highest conductivity. This material shows also higher electrochemical re-
activity for Li insertion and extraction than the undoped material. A specific discharge
capacity of about 177 mA/g is achieved, with little decrease during cycling. —
